Question about pull down menus on asp forms.
I have two questions about pulldown menus on forms.
1: Can I have the options of one pulldown menu be dictated by the
choice from another pulldown menu (example beow)?
2: Can I have a form be submitted when a choice is made in a pulldown
menu (example below)?
Example of question 1:
I have a form with two pulldown menus. The first one has two options.
1: LETTERS
2: NUMBERS
If I choose LETTERS, then the second menu offers the options A, B, and
C.
If I choose NUMBERS, the the second menu offers the options 1, 2, and
3.
Example of question 2:
Lets say (using the example above) I choose LETTERS from menu 1.
I then choose B from the menu 2. Once I choose the last option, I
would like to have the form automatically submit.
This functionality is new to me so I am not sure how to go about
creating the code. Any samples you can offer would be greatly
appreciated. Here is how I would make the form for the example above
but past that, I am lost.
<form method="POST" action="FormProcesspage.asp">
<p><select size="1" name="menu1">
<option>Letters</option>
<option>Numbers</option>
</select></p>
<p><select size="1" name="menu2">
<option>A or 1</option>(dictated by menu1)
<option>B or 2</option>(dictated by menu1)
<option>C or 3</option>(dictated by menu1)
</select></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Submit"></p>
</form>
Thank you for taing the time to read my inquiry, and for any help (and
hopfully code samples) you can offer.

i am not an expert here, but i do know that this is more java script than
asp.
might have more response if you direct this to the proper NG.

Re: Question about pull down menus on asp forms.
For the one dropdown causing the population of the other, you'll need to use
Javascript's onchange event in the dropdown box.

For the form post, you'll need the onchange event to run
document.FormName.submit();
